Abstract

Ranula, a salivary gland disorder, manifests as a cystic swelling on the floor of the mouth and can arise from various etiologies such as trauma, obstruction, or inflammation. This article explores the diversity of treatment modalities proposed for ranula, including incision and drainage, marsupialization, and sublingual gland removal. The recurrence of ranula is discussed in relation to treatment types, with reported rates varying significantly. This article discusses a case study of intraoral swelling in a 19-year-old male patient, emphasizing the importance of understanding and managing ranula in clinical practice.
